Heaths 120 build

[Heath74 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Heath74]

After a while on here, I thought I might throw up some pics.

This is my 120 as I bought it about 12 months ago.



First order of business was the safari snorkel



Followed by lift, dobinsons springs and bilstein shocks, paired with dynamic 17X8 rims, and MTZs



Bull bar fitting started in daylight...

Like many of these jobs, it finished in darkness



That's the tigerz11 winch. Back when they used to attend shows!

And MTZs




ARB second battery tray went in.



Coming out of a dual cab into a wagon, it wasn't long before a roof rack was fitted.

Rear set up, with fridge slide.







And some light.

High flow muffler, one of the best value for money mods



Monitor for the second battery



Bunny burner switch!



And some sliders, thanks Andrew.

Very nice. Can't beat the GX for value, I may be a bit biased on the 120 GX though. Great bus.

Coming out of a d22 the GX felt like luxury to me!

Agree, a fine looking rig.

Coming out of a d22 the GX felt like luxury to me!

Try imagining the step-up in comfort coming out of a TF Rodeo (base model) then.

Well done Heath the Prado is coming along nicely.
Mate can you please give us some details of your High flow muffler.
It looks good, should have more clearance than the Toyota unit.
Cheers
Troy

Hi Troy, thanks for the compliment. It's a straight through muffler, I'm not sure of the brand, it's stainless and was $150 fitted.

While I haven't had it on a dyno, it did make an instant difference to turbo lag. Not sure that it made any difference to fuel economy.

Ideally I'd go 3" dump pipe back, with high flow cat, but not sure I want to spend the money.

Build is looking great.
How are you finding the MTZs by the way? On the road and on the dirt?

[Heath74 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Heath74]

Sorry Robert, missed this one, I'm happy with the MTZs both on and off road. But I do tend to change them out for a set of ATs for day to day driving.

Here are a couple of mods that I have done that are a bit different to most, first the cargo barrier, come storage unit come fridge slide.



How the fridge slide works



Water tank and tap is integrated.

Camp light.

It's just on a spring clamp, so I can attach it to anything, sometimes ill stand on the roof rack and put it up in a tree, or just clip it on to the roof rack pointing where ever I need.

It's wired to a remote dimmer, which is located in behind the rear panel. The remote is great when you climb into the swag at night, the you can just flick the light off.


I have the smooth talker as a phone cradle, which is pretty good.



Here is the UHF mount. Screwed to a bracket that mounts inside the dash, so no holes in the dash anywhere. Same for the phone cradle.
